I know I’m an optimist, but it is way too early to give up on this season ending 8-10th. We are where we are without richarlison or DCL (basically all our goals last year) and Coady and Tark have the back line in the best/stable shape in years! Frank has Iwobi playing lights out and I have high...

Frank is the right man. We better not be sacking him. This year is rebuild/recover. I hope to end this season in top half, and next in top 6. I hope and expect Frank will lead us back into Europe and the new stadium. However, if we are 16th or worse with 5 games to go this spring, my support...

Many of these great Dutch prospects can be stars elsewhere, but chances to adapt/succeed seem higher with moves to Spain or Italy than the EPL. Don't mind us taking chances to break the mold, but I'd rather look at english clubs/academies for the next Stones, Godfrey, & Holgate or South America...

Esp against Man U!

I’m stunned too, but Gomes got my vote. No one was great, but Gomes, Davis and doucoure are the only real candidates imo.

I trust Carlo and brands. If it were up to me, I’d swerve well clear of him, but I trust Carlo and brands.

I’ve said this a while. Baines and jags both took time to settle in. I still remember some here screaming about what crap Baines was his first season. Support our blues.

Alex caught my eye a few times for Arsenal, but never understood that buy. He hasn’t convinced me as a blue yet. I think Gylfi and Bernard offer higher ceilings with possession and creativity, but I trust what Carlo sees in games and training. I think Alex offers more defense and physicality...

I still look back on the Howard and Donovan time and wonder what could have been here in the USA had Donovan stuck around. As far as James, the best thing he can do is help us win on the field, maybe make sports center from time to time. along with Mina, we now have a nice collection so many...

By far the best he’s looked for us. Not sure if he was auditioning for Carlo or to be sold, but he cared today and finally looked the player we thought we were getting. Had hustle, won many 50/50s, good runs and passes, etc. He and Braithewaite were the only ones to put in above avg shifts today.

Absurd comment. Neither may have been long term for us, but Lukaku and Rooney are two of the best goal scorers in the last 15 years.

Yep, season is going to hinge on our form in those two runs against top teams.

Great visualization about the schedule. We are the only team with those runs of 4, and we get 2. A couple really tough stretches. From

He did crush it. He could be a taker in end game PKs, but not for in-game penalties. If a pen is stopped or bounces back from the post, it is a live ball and we have an open net. Risk not worth taking, no matter how good it was.

If this goes to fund a buy of Gomes, then ok. Otherwise, no.
